Praise

Before I begin my normal Proverbs entry I would like to take the time to give God praise. I don't remember what prompted me to start this blog. I believe it was simply a feeling that if I were to blog my spiritual journey that perhaps I would be more diligent.

Then the book of Proverbs came to mind. I am sure that it was God inspired just as it was a few years ago when the lady told me to read it. However I'm slow and wasn't really ready to accept the things God had to tell me until now.

Now for the praise. Since I began studying Proverbs and putting it more into action, my life has been changing. Slowly, but noticeably. I am having more success in my career, a closer relationship with my kids and my marriage is getting better. It's not hugh dramatic changes, but my husband actually asked me out on a date last Friday. He hasn't done that in almost a year. And he's starting to be more affectionate (hand holding, hugging).

I just wanted to praise God and thank Him for all the blessings He is already bringing into my life and I am looking forward to a much more fulfilled and happy life as I grow closer to Him.

Lord, I praise you and thank you for never moving. I thank you for all the beautiful things in my life. Thank you for never leaving me and though I ran far away you were there to take me back. In Your Name I Pray, Amen

Shelly, your words tonight were wonderful. They touched me deeply and I am so happy for you. It's odd that, once again, we are on the same track. I posted just a short time ago, about how I often resist what God has in mind for me. Once I give in, life is easier. I'm stubborn, but I'm made in His image. That means He is stubborn, too. I'm glad - because that means He will not give up on me. That's a very comforting thought.Hugs,Eviehttp://prayernscrafts.blogspot.com

A Desperate Mommy's Prayer

Dear Father God,I come to you with thanksgiving for the many children you have blessed me with. You have entrusted them into my care and for that I am thankful.

I pray for you to give me peace, to give me an understanding on how best to deal with whatever comes my way. I know that I will never be perfect. I just want to be able to enjoy my children and train them to be kind, loving, responsible people who know to look to you for guidance.

I praise your holy name. Thank you for helping me realize that I cannot do it alone and that I must look to you for help. Thank you for never leaving me.
